Yes. There is a way to connect it with the remote, but I did not do it that way. I use the remote from the TV to set the sound level and then use my cable remote for sound adjustment.

Hi Jimmy, I just discovered with my Vizio Soundbar that once the Sony remote was set to the TV, it was auto controlling the sound bar volume, just not the ability to turn it on/off

Hello Cole... I am not familiar with the "Vizo" sound bar, but if the device is controlled by infrared commands, then the answer is yes. The Harmony database my not have the device on file but you can create buttons on the Harmony remote and learn the IR commands into the programming database.

No you will need to use the remote on the sound bar. I have not found a configurable remote that adjusts it other than the one it comes with. Besides you would not want audio coming from the TV speakers and the sound bar as it would sound terrible. What I do is set the TV sound at zero and just adjust volume via the sound bar control.

It should work fine for adjusting volume if you connect it via HDMI with the HDMI arc port on your tv. If you want to change sound settings, you'll have to use the original remote for the sound bar.

Yes there is a small IR sensor on the underside which lets it learn remote functions from other remotes. You can also use that to program 1 function key to do something on some other equipment you don't want to learn the whole function for. Example I have My HTPC controled by the cable box. My Blue Ray on the DVD button and of course the TV under the TV button. But also when in any mode one button is set to turn on the sound bar.

I'm gonna say no. Just plug everything into your TV then use an optical cable to connect the tv to the soundbar. All sounds should play though the soundbar.

Hello, this Sony Universal Remote RMVZ320 doesn't have a remote code for your Vizio Sound bar. -Ely

We connected our DVD player to the soundbar. You just have to change the source on the remote control.

Yes, it comes with a remote to change volume, bass and treble and mute. The bar connect to any tv. Actually, I have mine connected directly to my DirecTV box, not the tv. I've found it well worth the price. It will definitely fill your home with a full sound, instead of the bland tv speakers sound.

I believe it depends on how you have it set up. You can route the TV sound out into the soundbar, so if your TV remote controls the volume of its audio out then yes. We have ours set to just use the TV as a monitor, and the sound signal comes from our TiVo/Xbox/Blue Ray player, etc., so we use the soundbar remote to control volume. Except the TiVo remote also works, so we usually use that since we usually just watch TiVo.

The sound bar learns the commands FROM the remote. Just program your time warner remote for any tv brand other than the one that you have so the remote won't control the tv anymore. Then teach the volume setting to the soundbar. Download the quick setup guide for the speaker at the Klipsch web site for the exact steps

If you use the Samsung remote, you can control the sound bar regardless of whether or not you use the HDMI ARC feature. All recent (2011, at least) models of Samsung HDMI TVs have made the remotes compatible with other Samsung Audio/Video products (sound systems, Blu-ray players, etc). When you use a Samsung TV and Samsung soundbar, you can actually go one step further if you TV has the SoundShare feature; if you activate SoundShare you can connect wirelessly to the soundbar. Hope this helps!

The sound bar is a completely independent speaker system controlled by a seperate remote. When connected to your tv using the supplied optical cord your surround sound will still function normally as wiill the built in tv speakers

Yes it does, in the audio playback section of the setup menu (if I remember correctly), under variable or fixed output, select VARIABLE, this will allow you to control the volume from the remote.
